Correct Sleeping Position

Why do doctors recommend that I sleep on my left side

Get used to it now, before your belly starts expanding. You wouldn't be able to sleep on it in any case. Even though sleeping on your back may be more comfortable to start with, it leads to backaches, haemorrhoids and inhibits your digestion, breathing and circulation and could cause low blood pressure and hypertension. This is because the entire weight of your uterus, intestines and inferior vena cava is on your back. Whereas, stretching out on your left side, allows maximum flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta, enhances the functioning of the kidneys, which leads to better elimination of waste materials (which in turn would cause oedema). So this is, in actuality, the most comfortable position.
